Use a secure API key or OAuth token from your GHL developer portal. Include the token in the Authorization header when calling endpoints.
Create a dedicated app in the 46elks portal to obtain client credentials. Store secret keys securely and rotate them regularly.
Core endpoints: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId. Modification endpoints: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, DELETE /contacts/:contactId to delete. Task-related: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId. Tagging: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: Retrieve a single contact by ID
Actions: pull contact data along with related tasks, notes, and appointments
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key Fields: contactId parameter; optional include relationships fields
Trigger: Upsert a contact via POST or PUT
Actions: create or update contact records in 46elks
Method Path: POST /contacts/ or PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key Fields: contactId (for updates); body contains contact fields
Trigger: complete a task
Actions: update task status to completed in the Tasks API
Method Path: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key Fields: contactId, taskId, completed=true
Automated data sync between Contacts API and 46elks reduces manual entry
Real-time data access across apps without writing code
Centralized authentication and traceable activity for compliance
Key concepts include endpoints, authentication, requests, responses, and data mapping between GHL and 46elks.
A specific URL path that performs a defined action in the API.
Process of verifying identity to access protected resources.
String that grants access to API resources for a limited time.
An entity such as a contact or task within the API.
Automatically create 46elks contacts when new leads are added in GHL.
Trigger tasks in GHL from contact events to keep teams in sync.
Aggregate notes, tasks, and calls into a single view between systems.
Create API credentials in GHL and in Rankr, then securely store and reference them.
Match 46elks contact fields to GHL fields to ensure clean sync.
Run test calls against the endpoints and verify data flows before going live.
Yes. A developer account or access to the GHL developer portal is typically required to obtain API keys. In Rankr, generate a client secret for the 46elks integration. Keep keys secure and never expose them in client-side code. Use server-side calls to keep credentials safe. If you encounter token expiry, refresh tokens per the platform guidelines.
Yes, you can create or update contacts from GHL to 46elks using POST and PUT endpoints. Ensure proper field mapping and the correct contactId usage for updates. For upserts, check if the contact exists before deciding between create or update. Test in a sandbox environment first.
Notes are retrieved via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and tasks via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. For syncing, prefer endpoints that allow fetching related data in a single payload. Combine notes, tasks, and appointments in your UI for a complete activity view.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth; include the Authorization header in every request. Rotate keys regularly and implement token refresh logic. Store credentials securely on your server and never in the frontend.
Yes. No-code options exist via Zapier App Connector or similar integration tools. You can trigger 46elks actions from GHL events and map fields without writing code. For advanced flows, consider scripted calls in a secure backend.
Data mapping is required: align contact fields between 46elks and GHL, decide which ID to use for lookups, and map notes, tasks, and business relationships. Maintain a data dictionary to ensure consistency across updates.
Handle errors with robust retries and backoff strategies. Check HTTP status codes, log failures, and alert your team. Implement idempotent operations where possible to prevent duplicate records.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
